He is soooo FUCKED! Everybody saw it, everybody knows what he did. Have the trial and lock his ass up! No more kid gloves. Fuck his MAGAt horde, they'll have to be dealt with eventually. They're not going to go away, ever!

Why don't you expect the Vice President to be there Chuck you fascist trash pile who reeks of stewed Depends? Your legacy should be shame and disgrace but the good folks of Iowa will probably put your face on a grain silo outside Altoona instead.

โ€œWell, first of all, I will be โ€” if the Vice President isnโ€™t there and we donโ€™t expect him to be there, I will be presiding over the Senate,โ€

I've thought highly of the Juggalos ever since Baskets Arby's manager character, who also had a really good work ethic. Violent Jay also seems like a cool dude.

"Most pages are redacted. Whatโ€™s left is a wide-ranging collection of interviews, transcripts, even highlighted pages from Mike Penceโ€™s book. Disappointingly for anyone who popped corn hoping for a bombshell"

Judge Chutkan is waaaaay too smart to release unredacted info that the Fulvous Flatulence's lawyers could point to as spoiling the jury pool in appeal. Anyone who thought differently wasted their popcorn, but I assume that there is still plenty of grist for the mill to (temporarily) appease the average reader -- if an avid reader would spend the time to read the appendix.

-----

"And thereโ€™s a โ€œStop the Stealโ€ speech, which could be an early draft of Trumpโ€™s Ellipse speech before he added the paragraphs about Pence."

While I haven't read it, or any of the appendix yet, I'd wager that the draft Stop the Steal speech was still loaded with innuendo and implied actions so that the cultists on the Ellipse would know what the Amber Ardipithecus ramidus wanted/expected from them. And they satisfied him to the best of their abilities, but the knuckle dragging, mouth breathers (my apologies to non-MAGAdroid mouth breathers everywhere, including myself) didn't have the numbers to pull a successful autogolpe for the Sociopathic Marigold Swamp Monster so he could live out his wet dream of retaining unlimited power until he was carried out of the Oval Office, feet first and in a body bag.

-----

"But thanks to the Trump-loving Supreme Court wanting to give Treasontits every benefit of the doubt, the government must show that his rantings about FRAUD were not president stuff, instead they were about his loser ass campaigning to keep the job voters had just YER FIRED him for."

But... but... but... the Goldenrod Grotesqueness *was* being presidential and doing his job of insuring that the 2020 election wasn't compromised after receiving a complaint from one of the candidates. The mere fact that he was the candidate in question is immaterial; POTUS gotta do what POTUS gotta do to live up to the job description.

The voters failed to elect the RINO candidate, they didn't fire the RINO President (McConnell and the Senate RINOs saw to it that he wasn't fired even after two impeachments in the House).

"There were more ballots coming in from Pennsylvania than came out! Pennsylvania has 700,000 missing votes! RIGGED! UNCONSTITUTIONAL! HOAX! Democrats are hiding ballots! Signatures donโ€™t match!"

* Consistency has never been one of the Mango Malignancy's strong suits, and this is just more proof. First he claims that PA had more ballots returned than were mailed out, and then claims that there are 700,000 missing ballots (and all of them were probably cast in his favor).

* He shows no concern that while insisting that PA (and several other states) do something unconstitutional while at the same time accusing the Dems of unconstitutional actions:

"President Donald Trumpโ€™s decision to prematurely declare himself the winner in the hours after Election Day and pledge to quash the ongoing counting of legitimate ballots" https://www.axios.com/2020/11/01/trump-claim-election-victory-ballots

Yep, Constitutional to declare victory before all of the ballots are counted. And in his interpretation of the Constitution, it was his right as POTUS to demand ceasing the count.

* Signatures don't match? Just like live fact-checking of the Desert Sand Demi-Demon, there is no reason to check signatures so long as he is declared the winner. (And let's not forget that fine gentleman who cast his dead father's ballot, forging dad's John Hancock, because that's what dad would have wanted.)

-----

"Step one: Pence, โ€œor Senate Pro Tempore Grassley, if Pence recuses himself,โ€"

VP Pence should have recused himself since he wouldn't follow POTUS' orders to send the election back to the states. Grassley would have had no second thoughts about corrupting the vote so that the MAGA oberster Fuhrer won and could finish the job of Making America Great Again -- turning the US into a third world hermit kingdom (guess who'd be the King) with no clout or power on the world stage. But hey, at least them damn feriner immigrants from shithole countries will leave us alone, and that's a good thing, no?

I know wheels of justice are slow blah blah justice cakes

But it remains an abject failure of the justice department that every person involved in this carefully labeled plan โ€œplot to steal an electionโ€ isnโ€™t currently sitting in a subterranean lair underneath a brand new Donald Trump memorial treason prison.

Heโ€™s going to lose, but if he does win everything listed here will never matter at all

The historical preservation (and drinking) fraternal order of which I am a member, E Clampus Vitus, claims a son of Marquess of Queensberry as a member and a chapter is named for him, Lord Sholto Douglas Chapter #3 in Auburn, California.

The polls are showing the two candidates in a virtual tie.

Every vote we can peel off helps.

There are less clicks if anyone has a clear lead.

Look, we live in lefty Portland, so I freely admit that my circle of friends, acquaintances, and neighbors is not a representative sampling of the population in general.

That having been said, I'm fine with the media pushing a horserace for selfish reasons if that gets our people out to vote.

As a woman in Texas, I just say assume Dems are the underdogs and vote accordingly.

Cruz was clearly helping the Jan 6th insurrection and I will be so fucking THANKFUL if we could atleast get rid of that treasonous fuckstick
